Alarms
Use the Configure Alarms submenu of the Configure menu to select which error
conditions you will monitor and how you will be notified in the event of an error.
The alarms are organized into the following groups to help you locate a desired
alarm: General, Serial, Audio (Option DG only), Auxiliary, and Physical
(WFM700M only).
The top level of the submenu display shows which notification methods are
enabled. An “X” indicates that a notification method is selected and an “O”
indicates that the notification method is not selected.
Refer to the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM for
a description of each alarm condition.
For each available alarm, you can select one or more notification methods:
NOTE. If you do not select a notification method for an error, you will not be
notified if that error occurs.
H On-screen. An icon appears at the top of the current display. This notification
method is disabled when the Configure menu is open.
H Beep. The instrument makes an audible alarm.
H SNMP. The instrument sends an SNMP trap out the Ethernet port for a
remote notification that an alarm condition occurred. You must enable and
configure the instrument for SNMP control using the Communications
submenu of the Configure menu before SNMP traps can be sent.
Refer to the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document and the
WFM700 Series SNMP MIB Reference on the CD-ROM for more informa-
tion about using SNMP alarm notifications.
H Logging. The instrument makes an entry in the Event Log. Refer to Logging
on page 3--32 for more information.
H Ground Closure. The instrument sends a signal out the Remote port for a
remote notification that an alarm condition occurred. You must enable the
Remote Control Port in the Communications submenu of the Configure
menu before notifications can be sent.
